Band 6

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no special knowledge of the following topic: News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported? Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

One can't imagine the times when there were no newspapers, no televisions. These are the constant things that help a man know about what is happening all over the world. With
this
 knowledge, many
people
 schedule their day-to-day life's programmes. So, the
news
 which is being passed on to the
people
 has an immense impact on almost everything in the world. By which I say that the
news
editors
 have to be utmost careful in choosing what
news
 has to be broadcasted. In the below paragraphs, I will elaborate more on different aspects that influence the decisions of
editors
 and
also
 what
news
 helps society to grow knowledge-wise. There are many factors that influence the
editors
 in taking decisions. Two top-rated factors are the politicians and the
people
 themselves. Politicians pressurize the
editors
 in many ways to pass the good
news
 about them or the bad
news
 about opposition parties.
This
 is purely for their personal gain and there is no use for common
people
.
On the other hand
,
people
's interest matters a lot. Not all
people
 are interested in knowing the same thing, based on which the
editors
 update themselves in taking decisions. When it comes to what type of
news
 to be reported, it is not an easy decision to make. But definitely though the new is good or bad it should be an eye-opener or great learning for
people
. From the bad
news
,
people
 will start being prepared and from the good
news
,
people
 start practising. So, the motive at the end is that there should be some takeaway from the
news
 being reported. Many of us might not know that the full form of
NEWS
 is North East West South.
This
 means an idle newspaper is something that covers the
news
 of the North, East, West and South parts of the world. Choose your newspaper wisely to attain greater wisdom.
